Trail Overview
The trail is well maintained with a few portions that contain small rock gardens. Towards the end of the trail, there are a number of old, abandoned structures. One appears to have been an old general store, really cool looking. Keep a lookout for wildlife, especially elk. The trail contained some minor ruts from previous wet seasons, be mindful if you're there during the wet seasons.
